"We don't use the Rasmussen poll at NBC." Norah O on MSNBC just now

[Parker CA]

in response to some ass-hat saying the poll showed most Catholics were against Obama going to Notre Dame. He also said it's fine for someone who supports the death penalty to go to Notre Dame but not abortion.

What a f-ing nutjob. WOW. Good on Norah for the quick and succinct knock-down of the quoted poll results though.

1. She did a great job with him, even asking if pro-choice students should...

...be allowed at the school.

[Justitia]

4. of course he said yes - they need the $$$. -eom

2. I was raised Catholic and I always had a problem with them

being so vocal against abortion but being kind of Ehh when it came to the Death Penalty.

[Justitia]

3. Yup, Pre-emptive War, Torture & Death Penalty is A-OK w/Opus Dei.

But, women's reproductive rights - fuck no!

I bet that dude just loooooved Bush & Cheney.

5. Probably has a giant poster above his bed with the two of them smiling down on him. n/t.

7. She could have pushed harder on the bishops' anti- Death Penalty

stance. She was right and he was wrong. The bishops adopted a Seamless Garment approach to life issues that condemned equally death penalty and abortion back in the mid 1980s and that stance has not officially been changed although some of the younger and more conservative bishops don't like to mention earlier NCCB documents.

6. She shocked the hell out of me

Excellent.

8. Just confirms what I always assumed about Rasmussen.

They aren't pollsters.

They are peddlers of RW delusions and smears.

They are not regarded as a legitimate polling operation by the MSM, not even the cablecritters.
